Bill Murray’s new music video is almost frighteningly cheerful

Bill Murray is no stranger to music; from Nick the lounge singer to his 2015 Netflix Christmas special, the beloved actor has never backed away from a semi-ironic croon. But there’s very little of Murray’s characteristic wink in the new music video released today by Paul Shaffer and The World’s Most Dangerous Band, as part of the promotion for their upcoming self-titled album and tour. Brightly animated and aggressively cheerful, the video sees a gangly, cartoonish Murray cheerfully singing along with the former Dave Letterman sidekick, foiling bank robberies and making friends on “Happy Street.”
